Discussion:
To Blog or not Blog, that is the question.

Actually, I'm not all that sure what a blog is, or how one starts one
up, except it's some kind of web-available page that a person writes
(usually fairly often) that other people can read. Something like an
open diary on the web I figure.

Well, I occasionally like to hold forth on various subjects where I
have opinions (Yes me. I'm opinionated ... Really!)

So ... Since there's already a forum dedicated to me, I figure I might
as well use it.

So ... From time to time I'm going to post notes in here about
thoughts I have ... not all about sex or sex-stories or politics
either. Those I have posted (and will continue to post) in other
appropriate groups as well as here, on occasion.

But I'm going to try doing a bit of Asimov-style rambling about
various things. While I don't have his IQ or enormous background in
the sciences, sometimes I think I see things that others might not ...
or that sometimes I can explain things in a way that others hadn't
thought of, so they can understand what's going on.

Or at least that's my hope.
In any case, it will give me a place to ramble on about things I see,
do, and notice. Who knows how long I'll keep this up?

Good idea IMHO. I read most of your "ramblings" and find most of them
interesting even if I don't agree.

I though about a blog at SOL where they have it set up for authors. Then I
decided I didn't have enough to say and what little I do say is rarely of
any interest to most folks. So no Blog.

I'll watch for your posts as always.

That's the nice thing about rambling in a newsfroup.
You get (and everybody can see) the replies.
